To those who aren’t familiar with the Korean cuisine, the food on those small plates are side dishes of a typical Korean meal. In Korean, it’s called “banchan” (반찬). One of the most popular side dishes is kimchi, a staple in a Korean home. Some other side dishes are veggies, nuts, dried fish, squid strips, tofu, seaweed and a whole lot more. If you happen to eat in a Korean restaurant, you can usually ask for refills of these tasty banchan.

I’m not sure. Bibimbap was always a useful ‘go-to’, but the only thing I didn’t like were the tiny dried fish which appeared at every meal as a sort of condiment. I wrote a post every day in Korea, and they more or less begin here: https://margaret21.com/2016/09/12/sauntering-in-seoul/
